So this agent and I in an automobile took up a surveillance at the end of the street out of sight of the house and away from the house, and waited until he came from work.
We observed him toward the end of the day, and I suppose it must have been around 5:30, something like that, in the late afternoon, walking down the street, and we then moved up in front of his house.
Of course, I knew him and he knew me from a previous interview, and I spoke to him, "Hi, Lee. How are you?" I said, "Would you mind talking with us just a few minutes?" So he got in the back seat. I remained in the front seat. Arnold J. Brown, the other agent, was in the back seat with him, and we talked with him there, and the results of the interview are set out here on page 4.
Mr. Stern. Was it your normal practice to conduct an interview in teams?
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir.
Mr. Stern. This interview you conducted with Agent Brown, and your previous interview you conducted with Agent Carter, I believe?
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir; Agent Carter was with me on the first one, and Arnold Brown was on the second one.
Mr. Stern. Why is that, Mr. Fain?
Mr. Fain. Well, in case something comes up in these important interview cases which might have some evidentiary value, we like to have two agents present.
Mr. Stern. Is your general rule always to have two agents when you interview any subject?
